The BIG pictureKieran Lyons

Short Breaks – Monitoring information• Lots of great activities, good uptake and feedback from families

• Also good to understand how activity providers are adapting and changing when things don’t go as planned

• A requirement - and important to us:

- for panels who need to make decisions about how best to spend the short breaks budget

- for councillors who make decisions about what to spend money on overall – the councillors want to be sure short breaks money is used effectively, for Hampshire families who need it

Gateway Card• Thank you to activity providers who have encouraged families to get

Gateway Cards, and provided the Gateway Card numbers to us

• Families have other benefits e.g. additional borrowing at Hampshire libraries

• Many activity providers ask for the Gateway Card number at time of booking

• You only need to ask for the number once for your regular attendees!

GATEWAY CARD NUMBERS ARE ESSENTIAL

Short Breaks Grants – 2013-14

Changes for this year:• Piloting Local grant panels – local knowledge and parent /

carer involvement. Applications need to be separated by geographical area.
